Behavioral Technical Presentation
When interviewing for this role, I talked with many people I would be working with, both directly and indirectly. Most of my interviews felt like natural conversations. The whole process took about two months, mainly due to circumstances beyond my control and Niantic's. I figure it normally would have taken a month. It was a bit strange to have a casual chat with several employees, which wasn't really an interview but more of a chance to get to know people at Niantic better. This helped me feel more sure that Niantic was a place I'd like to work.

Behavioral Other
I had a really bad interview experience. The interviewer spent most of the time telling me I was wrong and that it takes a specific type of person to deal with the negativity in the Pokemon Go community. It felt like he was saying I couldn't handle it, which was weird since I told him I'm an active player and already part of the community. In the end, I realized this job wasn't for me and I didn't want to work for a company that talks about its community like that.
Confirmed questions2 questions
- They asked some really simple questions.
- The only difficult part was trying to answer him while his team's chat was constantly making noise.
